Chapter Seventy Nine Third Person POV.
As Amber and Richard stepped into his long-forgotten apartment, Richard was taken aback by the level of cleanliness that greeted him. Not a speck of dust could be seen, and everything seemed to have its place.
It was as if the place had been lovingly maintained and cleaned regularly during his six-year absence, and that surprised him mostly because he didn’t remember putting anyone in charge of the place.

She was impressed with the interior of the apartment, and she took in the simplicity and homeliness of the space, a stark contrast from the extravagant properties she had grown accustomed to with Richard. It exuded warmt! and coziness that made her feel instantly at ease.
“Wow, Richard, this place is beautiful!” Amber exclaimed. “I love how simple and cozy it is. It's perfect.” Richard's lips curled into a relieved smile. He had feared that his modest apartment would pale in comparison to the style Amber was used to associating him with. “I'm glad you like it, Amber,” he replied sincerely. “I was worried you might find it underwhelming.” “No way. Richard. This is exactly my style. | love the unexpectedness of it all. It feels like a real home, not just a place that screams billionaire.”” Richard let out a light chuckle. “That's exactly what | was going for,” he admitted. “My other places are a little too extravagant and expensive-looking, but this one... it feels different. It feels like me. It feels like a place | can truly call home. It’s too bad it’s in the wrong country.” Amber was surprised to hear him mention that the place he believed genuinely felt like hwas located in the wrong country, and she wondered why he harbored so much dislike for Italy.

After a few minutes, he returned with a black oversized T-shirt and gray joggers in hand, and she eagerly awaited his arrival. She knew that these clothes were from his wardrobe, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy and closeness as he offered them to her.
“These should do for now,” Richard said. “I'm not sure if the joggers will fit you, but give them a try. The shirt however, is pretty big.” Amber glanced at the joggers but didn’t bother trying them on. She was more interested in the oversized shirt that Richard had mentioned. “Actually, Richard, | think I'll just try the shirt. How long is it? Will it coverif | decide to wear it alone?” Richard's eyes widened slightly at her question. He hadn't expected her to consider wearing just the shirt. His mind raced, unsure of how to respond. “Um, yeah, it’s pretty long. It should cover you if you wear it alone,” he managed to say, trying to sound nonchalant.
Amber smiled slyly before heading towards the second bedroom Richard had shown her.
After what felt like an eternity, Amber finished her shower and dried herself off.
